You don't really need a tuner if you're just listening. I'd sell it, that's a nice tuner and someone will want it

Everyone has mentioned the drive for profit, I just want to give another example that's more explicit:

  • Revenue comes from advertising
  • More ad views/engagement means more revenue
  • This drives the company to create algorithms to increase engagement. For instance promoting rage bait so you stay on the site longer. This leads to other scummy things like racist or sexual content as well
  • This drives the original community to fall apart as people are driven away (see enshittification)
